10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy!

10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy! Outfit inspiration is what you’re looking for? I’ve got you covered!

I wanted to put together outfits from my Valentine’s clothing rack that I shared the other day on Instagram. You could view it HERE if you missed it. It’s a great way to help you create outfits fast and use pieces in your closet you forget about. I’ll talk more about creating a seasonal clothing rack at another time as I know from all the feedback, this is a topic you want more of. (remember I did one for Fall and Christmas)

Creating Valentin’s outfits can be as easy as grabbing your red and pink items and adding fun accessories. I’ve shown below outfit creations from old pieces I’ve collected over the years and added new pieces. These outfits were created to be easy for you to copy by shopping items in your own closet. However, I did link the outfits if you wanted to add in a few new pieces. Some items may be sold out or no longer available. If that was the case, I linked similar items.

Under each outfit, I broke it down to a “menu,” if you will, to help you grab the like items and style the look from my inspiration. I hope this inspires you to go into your closet and create a fun look or two for the month of love.

Clothing Menu:

Jumpsuit cropped blazer, beret, heart necklace, and sexy heels. (jumpsuit is Eliza J and from last year)

Clothing Menu: Leather or Snakeskin jacket, festive sweater, jegging or leggings, booties, and heart glasses.

Flatlay inspo: I created a shop my post below: To help you create looks from these above flat lays.

Hoping to help you get the most out of your closet, use the above closet menus and start creating your festive outfits. Did you notice some of the pieces on repeat? Good, I wanted to show you ways to wear the same item of clothing. It’s important to get multiple uses out of your purchases.

Make sure to hop over to Instagram and tune into my stories for all things Valentines and tomorrow for our Home tour collab video. Coming up on the blog next is Valentine’s home decor and tablescape. See below for more exciting happenings TODAY!

Holiday Outfit Ideas for 2020

Holiday Outfit Idea’s for 2020, well, really for any Holiday year! So whether you’re playing it casual, Holiday shopping, staying in Pj’s or getting festive for a small Holiday party. I created Holiday outfit inspirations. Therefore, you should be able to shop your closet or add some new pieces to your Holiday wardrobe collection.

Holiday wardrobe

I say Holiday wardrobe collection, well, because it’s good to have a collection of fun Holiday pieces that you can add to every year and mix and match with current pieces to create new looks. And it should be looked at like building a wardrobe because building a Holiday wardrobe gives you a great collection to create outfits with ease. I have had some of the pieces for years, and I love pulling them all out year after year and seeing how I can wear it this year. Because looking festive for the whole season is not only fun but creates more cheer!

I hope this post really inspires you to dig in your closet and see if you have “like items” to help you create a fun Holiday outfit. As I said, a lot of my pieces are older and not shoppable, but I will create a shop this post for the items you can still purchase if you want to add a couple of pieces into your Holiday outfit collection.

I was wearing a green dress from Eliza J’s Holiday collection last year in the photos above. (photo this year) Shop this season’s dresses BELOW. You really could use any Green or red dress, layer with an oversize cardigan or boyfriend cardigan (black and white buffalo check is a shirt/jacket), tall boots, and a beanie to create this look. Perfect for Holiday lunch with the girlfriends, Helping out for Holiday school parties, or switch the boots for heels and add festive jewelry for a festive party look.

Holiday Sparkle

Here are a couple of dressed-up sparkly outfits, just if you are attending something a little more festive. I know this year’s Holiday party situation might look a little different. Therefore, it doesn’t mean you can’t get dolled up. I am one that is always a game for being overdressed! (hehe) I also am game for hosting a small Holiday party; let’s face it, we all need cheer! Both of these looks are still available:) Shop the post below:

Holiday Pj’s and Loungewear

This sure has been the year of loungewear and pj’s! Christmas pj’s have always been a family tradition since I was a child, and I continued the tradition with my family. We don’t necessarily have matching pj’s, just festive. Above I showed a couple of ways you could take your pj’s and loungewear to the next Holiday level. By adding fun winter and holiday accessories, it’s not just pj’s. It’s a PJ outfit! By outfit, I do not mean appropriate to wear shopping! (hehe)

The plaid pj’s are still available to shop, and I found some “like” items if you don’t already have something similar. Shop below:

Casual Holiday

More of you have stated you take the casual approach to Holiday outfit looks. Above I created several Holiday flat lays to inspire you. As I stated above, I like to dress all month festively, from running errands to attending a girl’s lunch, helping out at school, or shopping. You’ll catch me in one of these looks.

Really easy to create and even easier to wear. Most of these looks are created with a base of jeans and a sweatshirt, then layered with seasonal accessories to give them the festive vibe. Note the jewelry, shoes and winter beanies, gloves, and scarves. As a result, give that Holiday winter vibe.

See why collecting is a must? A couple of tips for a good collection. For instance, look for sale items (even after the holiday, when everything is on sale!) Perfect time to grab items to stash away in your Holiday box. Yes! I said Box. Like our Holiday decor, create a Holiday clothing and accessory box! You only use those pieces for the Holiday’s so why take up valuable space in your closet year-round. Plus, it helps keep all your items together to create fun looks fast. Another great Tip is to Grab a great festive ribbon and use it as a belt. The ribbon is cheaper than purchasing a bow belt, and you can create a couple of them! For instance, the Large red ribbon belt I created above, so festive and really completed the outfit and just for a couple of bucks.

I hope you enjoyed some of my Holiday outfits for 2020 and left you inspired to create some festive looks this season. Now go check out my girlfriend’s blogs below for even more inspiration. Have a wonderful week, and make sure to add some cheer into your week. OX, D’Arcy

October Fall Favorites: Fashion & Home

Sharing with you some of the things that have been favorites for years and some added new ones to make this Fall the best yet. It’s no secret Fall is my favorite season, with Summer running a close second. October is my Birthday month, and I trust me. I have no problem celebrating it all month long. I’ve been sharing all my favorite things to do, eat, and wear as part of my celebrating in my Instagram stories and my feed. I’d love you to follow me over there; I am sure you’ll love what I am sharing. Now for some October Fall Favorites: Fashion and Home.

Each season I add some new pieces to my wardrobe, as I am sure you do too. I like to add pieces that work well with items I already own and pieces that I happened to be purchasing, which is a great little wardrobe capsule. The pieces I purchased this year here on the rack happened to all work together perfectly for mixing and matching. You could literally pack all these pieces for a trip and be set for any activity. These pieces I will be styling all Fall season and into Winter for you, so please stay tuned for styling inspiration.
SHOP the POST below.

Traveling in the Fall has always been one of my favorite things to do as well. Seeing other cities, exploring the beauty of their Fall always gets me in the Fall spirit. Here I styled some of the pieces I shared above, just perfect for Fall in Central Park. Shop the Look HERE

Halloween three Tiered tray decked out in some of my favorite seasonal pieces I’ve collected over the years! Shop the photo below:

Meyers cleaning products have always been one of my Favorite cleaning lines. I love their safe, smell great, and get the job done. The Fall limited edition scents are something I look forward to every year from the Grove. They get limited edition scents for Fall and the Holidays. Shop my link HERE or SHOP the page below

This year I decorated my back deck. See all the photo’s on my Instagram HERE. We sit on our back deck a lot for Coffee in the Am to cocktails in the evening. So I decided, Why not Decorate for my Favorite time of the year back there as well. Let me tell you; it has been one of my October Fall Favorites! Shop the photo HERE

Fall Decorating to dress up the front porch entryway. I can’t pass up a pumpkin or mums this time of the year. Seriously kept adding until I can add no more…then I move to a new place I can add. I love grabbing the large potted mums at Costco as they’re a steal at $14, and if Costco has pumpkins, it’s great to grab those there as well, normally flat $5 same with Target $5 for any size med or large. For the specialty White, Cinderella, I grab at the Pumpkin patch, well, because I need to go to the pumpkin patch every year! It’s one of my October favorite things for sure.

Fall Favorite Foods:

The taste of the season is definitely all things pumpkin. Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scones, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (my easy chocolate chip Pumpkin cookie recipe link below), Of course, Apple pie and yummy soups and bread always hit the spot on chilly cold Fall day’s. Check out some of the recipes I linked below from my kitchen. Below I added some of our family’s favorite ready-made snacks and a great creamer for a fast Pumpkin spiced latte.

Shop yummy snacks:

Fall vibes 2020, Fashion Trends

Fall Fashion is one of my favorites. Sweaters, layers, and all things cozy have me excited for cooler days and all things pumpkin.

I thought I’d share with you what I felt was going to bring on All the Fall Vibes this 2020.

For the last couple of Fall seasons, we’ve been seeing leopard and Camo making substantial presents, and it’s not going away for 2020. This theme happens to be my Theme/series week on Instagram; I hope you’ve been checking out my posts! HERE.

Puff sleeves on shirts and dresses (think puffy or pouf sleeves, hem details, and ruffles). I love the feminine touch; it gives our fall outfits. Spices up simple dresses and tops for that unique detail we love. We love to pair with basic denim for a comfortable outfit that has Spice.

Here are a few I fell in love with🍁🍂👇🏻🍁🍂

Finding the perfect Fall coat is not to difficult…. It’s right here, the perfect Camel coat! Wear it with anything and look so chic and stylish no matter what you have on underneath. Some of my favorites below.

Flared Jeans are making a big statement, Another one of my picks HERE bringing us that 70’s vibe, along with Fringe details on jackets to purses. Adding that fun detail that makes you want to swing that fringe around!

I am loving the fringe detail showing up on the booties, too, adding a little western for Fall 2020 vibes. Pairing a feminine top with pretty sleeves and cropped wide-leg jean gives you a great balance.

I know Fashion for 2020 this far has been a lot of loungewear and cozy at home pieces. I don’t see that really changing, but I do see us moving more towards street style and adding those fun fashion pieces that are easy to wear and move in while adding in some style. You can be comfortable wearing and looking suitable for a zoom session. Let’s face it…it is fun to get dressed even if our social life is a little different.

Now grab a couple of fun New Fall pieces and head out to lunch with the girls, have a date with hubby, go for a drive or make a coffee date… your New Fall Fashions will be itching to wear all season long.

#fallvibes2020

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away!

Do you have those Summer pieces you wore over and over and are sad when it comes time to pack them away? These are pieces that don’t transition into Fall. Summer short, Summer Printed tops and dresses, Sandals you loved, and those perfect Straw hats and Fun Summer Bags. I sure do. These pieces I wore to death all summer long and genuinely hated having to pack them away, Partly because it means the end of summer and partly because these pieces brought me joy all summer long.

The linen shorts HERE from Old navy I purchase in the stripe and four solid colors. So affordable, comfortable, and easy to style. I wore with a tank or graphic tee and if not to hot-finished off with a denim jacket. Shop the whole look HERE. Picking up summer pieces on SALE for next year is always a great idea and like Christmas when you unpack your summer clothing!

My favorite sandal this year by far! I purchased my tan shoes from my girlfriends little boutique Rowan in California. Best purchase ever, I could have worn every day they worked with every outfit I put together. Forcing myself to grab other sandals (lord knows I own plenty!) These would be great for traveling just for that reason. Here, and Similar in tan HERE and HERE

Those fun straw bags and favorite espadrilles we all love and collect scream all things summer! I am a sucker for cute bags and shoes. They get me every season, but especially in the summer. These are very hard for me to say goodbye. The struggle is so real 🙂 but let’s face it transitioning these cuties into Fall is pushing it. It’s time to say goodbye for now and see you in a year. Bring out the booties and fantastic leather bags, and this Fall, you might even be seeing some fringe. Shop these shoes here.

I like to store all my summer bags in the totes below; Clear bins are perfect so you can see them. I store all my Summer sandals in the shoe storage, also shown below.

I loved the Blazer and Bermuda shorts trend this year, Yes Blazer’s transition great into every season, but as I stated above, shorts are hard, especially in Utah. All though you can wear with a sweater and sweatshirt on chillier evenings or a crisp day, those days are far too little living here in Utah or Mountain communities. Packing these guys away, Tip, I like to roll all my shorts and store in bins showed below. Shop this look HERE

More shorts and here I am showing one of my favorite Summer straw hats, Spf 50 sunscreen built-in! Straw hats unless its a cowboy hat is for Summer and time to pack away. Shop this look HERE Now. Thank goodness Kimonos transition well for Fall unless a bright Summer print, so keep those out for a little while longer.

Check out at the end of this post how I like to store my hats and other treasures.

Shop my Favorite Shorts on SALE from Nordstrom sale below

Although I love, I move all my Floral, summer printed tops, skirts, and dress in summer colors to the back of my closet. My Fall and Winter wardrobe is full of darker and more Fall & Winter seasonal colors. Black, gray, cream, wine, spiced, mustard, navy, etc. Shop this look HERE

Floral Prints and what to do?

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away! My love of floral prints always has me sad to see them go. Fall color florals transition into Fall, so you can keep those out for a little longer, but as I stated above, We should pack away summer florals. Note my favorite sandals here again:)

What do you do with those seasonal dresses?

Dresses can be so versatile and can be great wardrobe builders, but unfortunately, some dresses do scream their season, like above, it truly is a Summer/Spring dress. Find it HERE. Just like a sweater dress is a Fall/Winter dress. If you purchase a ton of this season’s tee shirt dress, You can keep those out and transition those into your Fall wardrobe by adding layers and wearing them with booties or tennis shoes. Suppose you have darker colored or dark or fall printed dresses that transition perfectly as well. I’ll share some Fall transition looks all upcoming week in my stories and my Instagram feed, so make sure you follow along.

Sharing with you what I am Saying Goodbye to Summer with and what Fashion I am packing away! I hope I inspired you to say goodbye to Summer in a pleasant way and maybe even get a little organized to make room for that Fun FALL fashion. ( Hope you checked out My Fall picks from the Nordstrom SALE HERE, HERE, HERE)

Do your Pack up our closet or shift you’re seasonal close to the back?

Speaking of packing, do you pack up your Summer clothing and accessories, or do you move them to the back of your closet? I do both, I pack up some items, and I shift other pieces to the back. I thought you might like some of my favorite closet organizing containers for packing up Seasonal pieces in your closet. These pieces can also help you organize your closet regularly. Shop organizing below

How do you feel about Saying Goodbye to Summer? Are you Packing away any Fashion? I’d love to know how you handle your closet for the seasons. Comment below!

10 Summer Favorites I Can’t Live Without!

10 Summer Favorites I Can’t Live Without! I hope you won’t be able to live without them either. Summer is one of my favorite seasons, being outside enjoying the weather, dining outside, enjoying the gardens, and the long days along with pool & lake time and entertaining outdoors. With all the fun things to do, you’ll need to look good doing them, right? Here are my 10 Summer favorites I can’t live without!

Shorts, I love every length short, but the Bermuda shorts are one of this seasons biggest trends. In every shade, style, and color, you can’t go wrong with a Bermuda short. They look great paired with a blazer too. Easy to wear and even easier to style. Anything goes with a cute pair of Bermudas. Here are some of my favorites.

Sandals are making my top 10 Summer favorite’s. I can’t live without, and I found some adorable ones I have been wearing to death. My picks are sandals you’ll wear all Summer long and truly are some classics you’ll be able to wear for several Summer seasons.

Summer dresses are one of my top Summer favorites. So comfortable to wear, easy to style, and keeps you looking Chic without a lot of effort. Here are some of my favorites and so affordable.

Summer Cover up’s, and I adore this built-in Spf cover-up by Cabana Life. Stylish, true to size, and made of terry cloth.

One of My Summer’s favorites I can’t live without is grabbing a Summer read it’s perfect for catching some rays and soaking up the pages poolside. I am CURRENTLY reading Life gives you LULULemons. You’ll always catch me with an Ice tea in my hand, it’s my favorite for every season! This Summer I am so happy I have Sunnies that are readers too! HERE Shop my photo below.

Coola Self Tanner is a must along with sunscreen for your Summer days. This self-tanner gives you such a beautiful glow and natural-looking tan. I love the face tanner and Oil mist too. Shop my picks below

Summer means BBQs and family gatherings, and I have found Butcher Box home delivery makes it even easier to entertain for the Summer. Delicious 100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, heritage-breed pork, and wild-caught seafood. An unbeatable value with an average of less than $6 per meal. Great -tasting, high-quality meat you can feel good about, delivered right to your doorstep. (Free Shipping) My family loves this meat and said it is the best meat they have eaten. (remember I am a mom of boys and they are big foodies) Our Vacations are planned around where they want to eat! Comes fresh frozen in dry ice packs and ready for your freezer. It’s a must for my TOP 10 Summer Favorite’s, and it will be for yours too. I love it to help build up my food storage too. (I am a Butcher box partner) Shop HERE

Making the 10 Summer Favorites you can’t live without! Summer Salads and one of my favorites would-be my Greek salad, So refreshing and light, I could eat it every day. This salad is so easy to make and you’ll love how tasty it is. You can eat it on a bed of romaine lettuce and a side of grilled chicken or just plain.

Greek Salad:

4 on the vine tomatoes cup up

1 English Cucumber cut up

1 cup Kalamata Olives

1 cup red onion chopped up

Italian dressing of your choice

Feta cheese (if doing whole30 leave off) use the amount you like

Add all items together and mix with dressing (I leave the cheese out and top my salad when I serve) As this makes enough for 4 servings. I like to make a batch and have it for a couple of lunches. Serve as is or on a bed of Lettuce of your choice, also great with grilled chicken.

I really enjoyed sharing with you a few of my Summer favorites and I have a few friends that are also sharing their favorites today as well. I hope you’ll go check them out. Have a Beautiful Summer day. OX, D’Arcy

Mother’s Day Gift Giving Guide

Call your Mom… That’s what she really wants.

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, which means it’s prime time to shop online for a gift and still time for it to arrive on time. Shopping for my mom is honestly one of my favorite things to do because even though it can be a little tricky (doesn’t it seem like moms already have everything?!), I love being able to have a day to celebrate her, give her a thoughtful gift and thank her for everything she’s done for her family. She’s seriously the best –I love you, Mom!!

Top At Home Hacks for Beauty

While we all have STAY at HOME orders, we are being faced with having to care for our beauty routines ourselves. I don’t know about you, but I love having my hair, nails, eyebrows done regularly. I also enjoy a facial. Now more then ever, we have to maintain ourselves in ways we usually don’t. You know I love an excellent self-care day…maintenance is a little different than touching up our roots, doing eyelash extensions, or applying a set of nails. Here are a few tricks and products that are coming to the rescue.

Blondes that are having a little trouble with roots, baby powder works excellent, sprinkle in a little at the roots and rub with fingers. Not only does it act as a dry shampoo and suck up oil, but it also helps cover darker roots. These root touch up sprays, washout, and can be used for any color hair! HERE and HERE (No mad hairdressers!)

This DRY shampoo also helps cover roots for blondes HERE.

Home manicures are a breeze with this easy to use kit. HERE I have been loving Gel effects by Aurora. A gel polish that does not require a light. Drys fast and lasts a week. Removable with regular nail polish remover.

My Favorite colors are HERE HERE HERE HERE.

All that hand washing is causing my already dry hands to be even dryer! I started using City Beauty’s Restoring Hand Treatment HERE and, my hands feel like I’ve had a paraffin wax treatment. Use code DARCYV for 25% off

Hair removal is not something we love to do at home but, using Sally Hansen’s HERE Home Hair remover Is Affordable easy to use and doesn’t irritate my skin.

I like this one for my face/mustache HERE.

This one is great for bikini HERE.

This tool is a must-have tool to remove peach fuzz from the face and helps makeup go on smoother HERE.

I have three favorite Self Tanners that give a great glow that smell great and provide a beautiful real looking tan.

Coola Sunless tan, HERE, daily use gradually builds a natural tan. Love the pina colada scent. I highly recommend applying with Kabuki’s body, Brush HERE.

L’Oréal Sublime Bronze self-tanner water mousse I use the medium, it is also is a gradual build in color and doesn’t leave a bad smell HERE. I also adore the Isle of Paradise drops HERE

Keeping your skin hydrated and silky smooth is always essential for a tan. I love Brazilian Bum Bum Cream HERE Smells amazing and genuinely helps keep your skin soft and smooth, it also smells fantastic!

I wear lash extensions, but I have always used a lash serum to keep my lashes robust, long, and healthy. My Favorites are Wow the Crowd HERE, Grande Lash HERE, and Hello lash Therapy HERE. Perfect time to work on getting your lashes healthy and strong. These also don’t affect blue eyes.

Do you feel like you need some lashes for a little normalcy? Try these HERE. These are my sister’s favorite as a makeup artist, and she suggests this glue HERE. Want to see her work? Follow her HERE Tiana Holiday

We’re not heading to the Spa anytime soon, but Using CO2 lift Carboxy Treatment Mask for your face will have you looking like you left the medical Spa without the pain or downtime. This Mask increases hydration recapture the skins youthful glow reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles puffiness around the eyes, lifts, and smooths skin texture. Purchase HERE use code darcyvandenberg 10% off

For a simple easy to use a Sheet mask, City Beauty’s HydroMask packs a big punch and offers significant results, hydrates the skin, smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Purchase HERE use code darcyv for 25% off

I know hair has been a big concern for most ladies during this time. It’s the best time to pay extra care to your hair and treat it kindly since, regularly, we damage it so. Cutting back on heat tools, giving it a break from constant styling can help your hair and using a hair mask like Better not Younger’s butter masque repairs brittle, dull hair gives it the nourishment it’s been craving. Purchase HERE

Just a little something to make your Selfcare day a little special, I love these CANDLES they smell amazing and also make for a great gift. Another favorite Here and Here

I hope you are all safe and that you are treating yourself to a self-care day soon. OX, D’Arcy
